Examples


Change the current shell variable by entering:

SETENV,'SHELL=/bin/sh'

Make sure to eliminate any whitespace around the equal sign:

; This is an incorrect usage--there are spaces around the equal 
; sign:
SETENV, 'VAR = H:\FLOOB'
 
; This is correct--VAR is set to H:\FLOOB:
SETENV, 'VAR=H:\FLOOB'
